Brian D. Taylor Plays
I'm a writer who loves telling fun and interesting tales and a gamer who is building nerdy tabletop board games with his brother and a crafty boi working with his daughter to make fun jewelry... and would like to invite you in on that entire creative journey, wherever you fit into that fandom. All are welcome here.
Site under construction
Plays and musicals for youth, educational, and community theatres.
And... a writer who is still working on building his new website and learning a new web-building environment along the way. Bear with me fans... I'm doing my best to get it all updated and improved so we can engage more like we used to... but this site is still in testing mode and under construction for a bit. I'm busy ridding it of most of (but not all of) the pesky rodents and cleaning up all of the dust to make it as helpful resource for all of us and our kindred spirits. I also hope it looks fun and pretty. Check out those laser pigeons. Fun right? That's where we've been and there's more where we're going.
In the meanwhile and while I get this going for, pretty much all of my more important work can be accessed here: https://www.pioneerdrama.com/AuthorDetail.asp?ac=TAYLORBRIA
Walking dwarves... as in the walking dead? That’s right! What could be more fun for all ages than a zombie fractured fairy tale?!
Thanks to some prompting from a conniving Magic Mirror, the vain queen poisons apples with a “special ingredient” (that just happens to be plutonium), leading to a kingdom-wide plague of zombie dwarves! Snow White and the Huntsman narrowly escape the dwarves, making Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters the first zombie fodder, blindsided as they’re dress shopping for the big ball. And Little Red Riding Hood never reaches Granny’s house, instead falling victim, too! It’s no surprise when the Three Little Pigs, who can’t even protect themselves from Big Bad Wolf, become meaty breakfast treats for the swarm of hungry undead. Even Cinderella’s cheery animal friends (portrayed with puppets) can’t escape!
As the zombie horde grows, the kingdom’s dwindling band of survivors — including Old MacDonald, Candy Witch, Hansel, and Gretel — convene at the castle. The queen realizes with horror what she has done, but she still wants the royal ball to continue so she can win the heart of the hunky Prince Brawny.
Will there be a happily ever after in this fairy tale? Thanks to alternate endings, the answer’s up to you!
